The U.S.S. Alabama (BB-60) is currently
on display as a military museum located in Mobile Bay Alabama in
Battleship Park just off the I-10 interstate highway.

Construction of the USS Alabama, a South
Dakota class battleship, began in February 1940 in the Norfolk Virginia
Navy Yard and was completed two years later in Feb. 1942. "Shakedown
Training" of the ship's crew was done in November of 1942 and then the
USS Alabama saw active duty in World War II from 1943-1945.

The ship was donated to the "USS Alabama
Battleship Commission" and the citizens of the state in 1964 with the
museum being officially opened in 1965.

I hope you enjoy the 264 pictures that I
took while visiting the U.S.S. Alabama (BB-60) and USS Drum Submarine
(SS-228).

This museum and park is located
at 2703 Battleship Parkway (HWY 90 / 98) in Mobile Bay Alabama off the I-10
interstate highway exits of either 27 or 30. The grounds are open from 8am
to 4 or 6pm (depending on the season) and the entrance fee for adults over
12 years of age is $12.
